Nexenta is solving one of the two major complaints I have with Solaris. The first being easy package management. While blastwave is fine, it doesn't have anywhere near the number of packages that Nexenta has in their database.

The second complaint I have with Solaris is the lack of SATA support for common chips such as Silicon Image and VIA chips. I do realize that these chips are not common in servers but its the only thing stopping me from running Solaris =(.

The webpage states that Nexenta has some drivers that are not part of Solaris or OpenSolaris, I'm crossing my fingers for some SATA drivers =)
